DESIGN: What a beauty! This dress is such a classic 1950’s dress, with the synonymous ‘new look’ shape. The dress has wide straps, with a stunning ruched bust and tie detail on the neck. A fully gathered skirt which is echoed with the border print at the bottom – the skirt is even lined with a mesh fabric to add volume!

A very pretty dress in a light blue cotton with nautical look buttons and white trim. Has belt loops but no belt. Would look great with a plain white belt and petticoat. It's unlined but good working order metal zip.

A gorgeous original 1950s cocktail dress in floral print fine cotton, with the original net petticoat intact. Labelled 'The Linzi Line' the dress has pretty bows to the shoulders and closes with a zip to the back.

Details include a square neckline, short sleeves, all over floral rose print, a lovely contrasting green velvet ribbon, side zip and hook and eye fastenings, and a pleated skirt. Judging by the features and condition this is true 50's era.
